Step 1

Ans 15.

Your furnace warms the chilly air inside your house to a comfortable 72 degrees, causing it to expand. The relative humidity is significantly lower even though the amount of moisture in the air stays the same. This indicates that the indoor relative humidity is only 6% when compared to the outside cold air's 70% humidity.

Hence, in less words, we can say that relative humidity will decrease if a cold air comes inside from outside. It is because the air is warm now and it can hold less moisture due to which relative humidity will be low.
